DOUBLE BASS C eXTENSIONS
I regularly make C-Extensions for double basses, I use the bass capo system with full ebony extension, where the string goes through the scroll and down to the A tuner. Each extension is carefully fitted to the individual double bass and provides easily accessible and accurate extension notes.
My extensions have adjustable C nuts (to be adjusted by a luthier). The bass capos are also adjustable. So, if your string length changes (if you are changing the height of your bridge, location of the bridge) or you are changing the gauge of your string, this can be accommodated for. The capos are very strong and will remain in place wherever you position them, so you do not need to worry about loose gates swinging or rattling.
I also offer a C - Extension that doesn’t require drilling through the scroll, utilising a double pulley system, this is particularly useful if you want to have the option of removing the Extension. This method negates the necessity to drill through the scroll, ensuring the original wood is not affected.
If you are looking to get a C Extension installed on to your bass please get in touch to discuss options.
